A lovely hotel in the center of Alexandria. Everything looked just like the photos, the food at the restaurant was tasty, and the movie theater was a nice touch. Only downsides would be that service at the restaurant could have been better, and the room did not have complimentary tea like the sign mentioned. That being said, I would stay again.
